Many of you know last year I did a brand new garden with my 5-year old grand daughter. Well, this year she has gotten over the excitement of putting a seed in the ground and watch it produce tomatoes, vegetables and flowers. She'll be 6 soon and her attention has turned to classroom stuff, writing, reading and playing music. She loves to hear Beyonce sing and dance. She did really good with her Easter speech in the school play, she wanted to do the Bunny rabbit dance too but they told her next year. She will get promoted to second grade this year. She's excited!

I just finished taking the garden fence down. There were some green onions growing from last year, and some other things I forgot what they were. When the yardman comes this week, he will get it weeded out and ready for some sod grass to make it look like back yard again.

Really, I was glad she didn't want to garden this year, easier on me. Most of her gardening tools, gloves, stool and knee pads are still like new. I did most if not all the work in the garden, can't do that this year, my body says no way Hosea! Even the birds are already back probably looking for the red tomatoes they ate so much of last year.

So, to all you regular gardeners and flower growers, I wish you lots of success in everything you grow this year. After all that record snow in some parts of the country, this summer should be great for gardens. Just imagine, in a couple more months, it will be watermelon time. Most of us need to eat the fruits and veggies. No more strokes! :Nodding: :Starvin:

I got one request!!!! If any of you have success at growing that upside down tomato in the hanging planter...Let me know? I got mine at Walmart last year, cheaper than on line, and they never did grow! Wasted my 9 dollars! I see on TV they are advertising them again this year already. Nobody around here had any luck growing them either. It may be a rip off? Let me know, OK?
